I’ve just installed Julia-1.6.4 onto a Mac Pro desktop (2019) running Mac OSX Monterey (ver. 12.0.1). When I startup Julia I get the following message:

```nohighlight

Any suggestions on how correct the error during the initialization of module GMP?

Since this post, I’ve updated Julia to ver. 1.7. I’m still getting the same error in initializing GMP.
